HOLY RECORDING AND STREAM KEPT CUTTING OUT BATMAN!!!We struggled to get this episode streaming and recording. The software kept cutting the stream and then losing the recording throughout this episode. We were able to recover a lot of it and still had a good time, but WOW what a test of patience. This week we discuss such things as Elon Musk’s Neuralink which has been testing connecting to animals brains with the hopes to use this to assist those with disabilities, but also enhance the human experience to even more police violence. So much craziness has taken over this world for the good and the bad, and we want to continue the conversations that we find not only important but interesting. We DID get into shower thoughts, but they were sadly cut-off in the recording. We collected the ones that we read below in the show notes. See ya next time for a hopefully smoother experience!

TIL new information about testicles from Wikipedia.

As early as 330 BC, Aristotle prescribed the ligation (tying off) of the left testicle in men wishing to have boys.[17] In the Middle Ages, men who wanted a boy sometimes had their left testicle removed. This was because people believed that the right testicle made "boy" sperm and the left made "girl" sperm.[18]
